Python SSH Honeypot

This is a simple SSH Honeypot script written in Python. It uses the paramiko library to create a fake SSH server that logs attempted logins.

When a client tries to connect to the server and sends a username and password, the server logs these credentials and sends them to a Discord channel using a webhook.

Dependencies

This script depends on the following Python libraries:

• paramiko
• threading
• datetime
• socket
• signal
• sys
• discord_webhook

You can install these libraries using pip:

pip install paramiko discord_webhook

Usage

Before running the script, make sure to replace the WEBHOOK_URL value with your Discord webhook URL.

You also need to have a SSH private key file named 'key' in the same directory. You can generate it using ssh-keygen:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f key

Then you can run the script with Python:

python ssh_honeypot.py

The server will start and listen for incoming connections on port 2222.

Output

The script will log any login attempts, along with the username, password, and client IP, to a file named credentials.log. It will also send this information to your Discord channel via the webhook.

If you stop the script (for example, by pressing Ctrl+C), it will close the server and exit.

Warning

Please be aware that running a SSH Honeypot could attract unwanted attention to your network. Be sure to follow all relevant laws and regulations, and use this responsibly.
